Several governorates have witnessed clashes between supporters and opponents of deposed president Mohamed Morsi on university campuses since the begining of the academic year, as rival camps have been continuously staging demonstrations.
The most violent clashes that took place on Wednesday were at Al-Azhar university in Cairo, where at least 25 people were arrested amid clashes with security after pro-Morsi protesters stormed an administration building.
According to the lawyer representing the students, only eight of them were Al-Azhar university students.
No final numbers of the injured in Al-Azhar clashes have been released by the Ministry of Health yet.
